lots started to go wrong when sports agents got so powerful. And the league is absolutely to blame because they never made an attempt to hide the manipulations -- the big media market cities get favorable treatment. Today you have LeBron getting his no talent son a roster spot.- This is embarrassing. The prima donna treatment for kawhi ....or LeMelo and his speeding cars. I mean these are kids who suddenly have millions of dollars. (by the by, why did the promise of meeting beautiful women lure these guys? They are chased all the time by women....girls hide in stairwells at their hotels to run to their room. I remember stories from the old Showtime lakers (i was around that scene in a fringe sort of way)....so the leauge COULD have taken a more responsible position with these young men, but they didnt. And then legal gambling. This is about as predicable as anything in the entire world.
As always, impressive and exhaustive reporting here by connecting the various dots.
I’m not so sure that Adam Silver has the skill set to deal with this type of scandal. Granted, I don’t think that Stern’s bullying style would work well in today’s world either, but this isn’t going to be effectively dealt with through a law firm “investigation”.
